b2evolution bridge

[Nibbler]

This is scheduled for 1.5, if you wish to use it with 1.4 then use the attached file and follow the directions.

Download and unzip the file.
Upload bridge file into your coppermine bridge folder.
Add details of the new file into bridgemgr.php

in bridgemgr.php, find

Code Select Expand

//////////////// main code start //////////////////////

before it, add

Code Select Expand


$default_bridge_data['b2evolution'] = array(
  'full_name' => 'b2evolution 1.9',
  'short_name' => 'b2evolution',
  'support_url' => 'http://www.b2evolution.net/',
  'full_forum_url_default' => '',
  'full_forum_url_used' => '',
  'relative_path_to_config_file_default' => '../b2evolution/',
  'relative_path_to_config_file_used' => 'lookfor,conf/_basic_config.php',
  'use_post_based_groups_default' => '0',
  'use_post_based_groups_used' => 'radio,1,0',
);


This will register it as an option in the bridge manager. Do not change anything in the above code.

Run the bridge manager.
Answer the questions.

Unfortunately there is a small code mod needed to b2evolution in order for it to share its cookies with Coppermine.

Edit the file conf/_advanced.php

Find

Code Select Expand

$cookie_path = preg_replace( '#https?://[^/]+#', '', $baseurl );

Change it to this

Code Select Expand


//$cookie_path = preg_replace( '#https?://[^/]+#', '', $baseurl );
$cookie_path = '/'; // Let Coppermine see the cookie.


Note that you will need to redo this change whenever you update b2evolution to a newer version.

After making this change you will need to clear your site's cookies.

If you changed your 'instance name' away from the default then you'll need to tell the bridge file, see the note at the start of the file.

If you have issues with the bridge then read this before posting.

Feedback appreciated.

It's not something I need to to but I was just interested how it would work.

I recently saw a website with coppermine, phpbb and b2evolution installed. How is this done?

Do they do it by bridging coppermine to phpbb and then b2evolution to phpbb so all use the same user database?

[Joachim Müller]

We don't know, as we're not mind readers.
Stick to the subject of this thread, it deals with the bridge file Nibbler posted. If you have something to say on the bridge file, do so. If you have questions about other things, then stay out of this thread.

[slamp]

Anynone knows if this bridge is working with b2evolution 1.10.x ?

[Joachim Müller]

Please try it and report your test results.

[slamp]

It works with b2evolution 1.9.3 and 1.10.2
I will come back with a full test result asap.

Thanks a lot for your work GauGau

[Nibbler]

Provide ALL the requested information !

Looks like you set the relative path wrong, or not atall.

[DaBe]

it worked!

but when I login on the coppermine skip the script on the login page from b2evo.
and when I login from the b2evo I have a fatal error on coppermine page!

[Nibbler]

Enable debug mode.

[DaBe]

enabled!

[Nibbler]

The modpack is only compatible with certain bridge files. I doubt this is one of them. See discussions in the modpack section.

[DaBe]

Oh no!

what can I do?

what is other on the bridge files for the modpack?
